Define Mobile Work Order Integration
Explanation
This activity is used to define the integration between surveys (in IFS Human
Resources) and mobile work orders (in IFS Mobile Work Order). A survey, also
referred to as a questionnaire on the mobile device, will be made available at one or
more stages of the mobile work order flow based on
your settings. Following is a list of the stages in the work order flow where a
survey can be triggered:
- Work order statuses - You can define the survey to be triggered when a
work order is accepted, on route, on site, rejected, set on hold, suspended
or when a revisit request is created for the work order.
- Work order completion process - You can define the survey to be
triggered before completing the work order or after the work order is
completed.
- Work order - The Work Order stage can be used for work order
specific surveys that are not linked to an event, but can be answered at any
time. These surveys are available under the list of work order actions on
your Mobile device.
- Employee - The Employee stage can be used for surveys that are
not directly linked to an event, but can be answered at any time. These
surveys will be connected to your employee and available on the eForm screen on your Mobile device.
- Child Survey - The Child Survey stage can be used for surveys
that are not directly linked to an event but can be answered as a child
survey which will be triggered together with its parent survey.
Once the details are registered in WO Integrations , the survey will be
transferred to the relevant mobile device during synchronization. Note: surveys
are transferred to the mobile device of all participants as part of a batch
sync.
Prerequisites
- The survey should be set up with relevant information.
- Work order related data that is to be connected to the survey should be
defined. For instance, equipment objects, maintenance organization,
maintenance priority etc.
System Effects
As a result of this activity, the survey is integrated with a certain stage
of the mobile work order flow and can be published to the mobile device.
